Article in Substance use & misuse, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe prefrontal cortex is not fully developed in middle/high school students, therefore many substances, including nicotine, have the potential to affect it, impair learning, and hinder academic performance. Nicotine in pouches is an emerging, heavily marketed, explicit public health concern. Adolescents may not know of the risks associated with nicotine pouches, especially with social media and marketing claims that they help with weight loss, athletic abilities, mood, and focus. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between nicotine pouches and poor academic performance in middle/high school students.
methodsData for this cross-sectional study were from the 2022 and 2023 U.S. National Students Tobacco Survey (
resultsCurrent nicotine pouch use was 0.9%. Middle/high school students' nicotine pouch use was associated with C/D/F grades (unadjusted odds ratio: 2.50 [95% confidence interval: 1.49, 4.27],
conclusionLower academic performance (mostly C/D/F grades) was associated with middle/high school students' use of nicotine pouches. Longitudinal research is needed in this new area of tobacco-derived product development.
